Do you allow you’re guys or Subs to smoke on the job site?
Why or Why Not?
luckily, I have not had to deal with this. Anyone that I work with either does not smoke, or will only smoke in their Truck. It can be a real issue with some people though.
I haven’t had to deal with the issue since I rarely have people working for me. I don’t like it when guys do smoke on site though for a couple reasons. I’m not a smoker so I don’t want to be breathing it in second hand, and I think it looks messy to have cigarette butts on the ground everywhere.
There was one home I was working on where the siding contractors smoked a couple joints at lunch time and then back up onto the scaffolding…good idea eh.
Dan at least you won,t ever see any Joint butts on the ground
John in Belgrave Ontario, www.extremebirdhouse.comlol that’s true!
Not a smoker and highly sensitive to tobacco smoke myself. So no.
I can be driving down the the expressway at full speed with the windows up and smell someone smoking ahead of me.
There is a state law here that’s outlawed smoking in all public buildings. Most hospitals also prohibit it anywhere on their campus.
we have a few guys on the crew that smoke.. were pretty strict about it. .no smoking inside as the smell can linger for quite a while and people who are really sensitive can smell it months later.. all butts either go in the garbage or in your nailbag until you can dump them
No one I work with smokes, but if needed, there would be opportunities for breaks to get their fix. Any more constantly than during breaks would be frowned upon by the other workers. I think the people we do jobs for also greatly prefer that we not smoke. Some might be okay with it, but I know none of them have any issues with us NOT smoking!
I am not a smoker either, but I agree that for those that need their fix, they should be outside for sure, and not leaving any trace of their habit. It seems these days, it is getting to be less of an issue with it not being allowed in most buildings, etc., as well with allergies and peoples sensitivities to it, it is a good idea to make sure that you are well away from the buildings or houses.
I say, “Smoke em if ya got em” but that’s just me, I am a smoker, a considerate one, I don’t smoke in other peoples house, car, etc, even if they say it is OK.
Also, I am a woman, and there is nothing sexier than a hot guy with a smoke hanging out of his mouth while working with power tools!!!, My husband says I am crazy!! LOL but again, thats just meNot on premises. State law is 25′ from commercial openings. Just respectful of residential clients. There is always a butt that gets out of the bags.
it seems that fewer and fewer people smoke these days… or is that just me?
I personally don’t mind. As long as they smoke
On a new construction project and not a remodeling one
Unless they smoke outside in their truck. I had
To let go of a couple of friends(coworkers)
Cuz they were drinking in their trucks at lunch
